Aldine Y.O.U.T.H. hosts community day

The Leadership North Houston Alumni will participate in a community service project with the Aldine Y.O.U.T.H. Community Center, 4700 Aldine Mail Rt., on Saturday, April 21st from 10am – 2pm. A Community Day is planned to include a large yard sale in conjunction with the Aldine YOUTH “Renewed Blessings Resale Shop”, a fun carnival for area youth, and an outreach to the surrounding community by forming groups with the teens involved in the Youth School of Business Program. They will distribute important information about the many educational, vocational, social, and recreational activities available at the Center for residents of all ages.

Leadership North Houston is a community based leadership program, committed to educating and enhancing the involvement of existing and emerging leaders of north Houston. Aldine Y.O.U.T.H.’s mission is to “empower positive change in the lives of our youth and their families through partnerships with businesses, agencies, schools, churches, and talented volunteers.” This event merges the goals of both organizations to the benefit of the community.
Angila Ervin, The LNH Alumni Board president remarked “This will be a fun community event where the Alumni of Leadership North Houston can have good time with members of this wonderful community and give something back to them at the same time.”
The goal of this project is to improve the awareness of the Aldine Y.O.U.T.H. Community Center’s programs, increase the sales of the Resale shop which helps to financially support the Center’s programs, and to host a fun and educational event for community families. A group of students from the University of Houston’s Graduate College of Social Work will be providing resources and information to the community, based on the results of needs assessment research conducted in the surrounding area.
Sylvia Bolling, Executive Director and Founder of Aldine YOUTH says, “We truly appreciate Leadership North Houston coming out to be a integral part in helping us to increase our capacity to serve the many low-income families. Community events like this help us to help our youth become healthy, self-sufficient members of society. It does take a village to raise a child and to make a sustaining difference”.
